Carb Cycling?

Im giving it a second try-last year i think i left my carbs too low (im hypoglycemic, its a balancing act) and day 52 i was so sick i could barely move.
I had a 6 pack though.
im doing 3 days low, 1 day high. this is the third low cycle (Saturday is high).
I raised my carbs considerably from last time (from -20g to -50g).
Im eating plenty (2000-2300 calories a day).
But today im having a hard time focusing on anything. i tried reading an article on flexibility and re-read a paragraph five times bwfore i could remember what it said. i dont have the tell tale headache yet, but the lack of cognitive ability is a pretty big red flag for my sugar levels. (dont sweat that though-i have had a poptart and my brain isnt crying now).
Anyone else with wacky blood sugar do low carb or carb cycling? Any ideas or tips?
